Lift France, with Fing, July 5-7 2010 in Marseille
For the last 20 years, networked technologies have redistributed the power of imagining, evaluating, and acting. No frontier has remained fixed. Consumers have also become producers. The divisions between various industries and disciplines are being redefined. This shift extends far beyond the digital. It transforms manufacturing, learning, cities, public policy, perhaps even our own minds...
The Web changes the world - But to what extent? With what limitations? How can it reach its full potential?
"Dot.Real - Webify the real world" This is the theme we will explore in our upcoming conference Lift France 10, co-organized with the French think tank Fondation Internet Nouvelle Génération (FING).
The conference will host sessions on
* Web Squared: Making Sense of the World through Shared Data
* Open Public Data: A New Resource for Innovation and Participation
* Fab Labs: Reinventing Industry
* People Hacks: Distributing Control and Knowledge
* Privacy Revisited: Protect and Project
